I had previously started a topic in which I thought my problem was that scheduled tasks didn't run in windows 10, no matter what.
In the weeks since I've tried reinstalling windows 10 and eset smart security, with no luck, until today.
I have now discovered that if you are logged into windows 10, but the system is locked - as I leave my system overnight, scheduled tasks don't run.
I tested this by setting a scheduled task of an on-demand scan to start in a couple of minutes, then sitting here and watching the time tick by, then right on the minute, the scan started.
I then repeated this process, but after scheduling the scan, I locked the system (using winkey+L) - I then waited for the scheduled time to be reached, then waited several minutes before unlocking, when I expected to see the scan running - It wasn't running.
I've repeated this several times now, each with the same result.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks,
Christopher Gibbins
